It is still only just after lunch, but I thought I would go ahead and make a post.
Breakfast at 8:30am: This morning for breakfast I made 1 cup of dry oats with blueberries, brown sugar, and a dash of almond milk. My goal was get full so I don't have to snack between meals. I wish I could just not feel like I have to graze, but it is what it is. I could only finish half my bowl, so I ate about 1/2 cup dry. I also had 1.5 cups of almond milk with chocolate syrup (I did measure the milk out)
Snack at 10:40am: I ate 2 cups of pineapple.
Lunch at 12:30pm: I am going to provide a before and after picture to give you an idea of how much I am getting in (maybe not, can't figure out how to put a picture in). I did white rice (which is what I have easier access to), some mixed veggies, salt sprinkled on top and then buffalo mustard drizzled on top. I ate until just past being full. I had about 70% starch and 30% veggies and just a bit of rice left at the end. I also had one of those mini cans of pepsi.
I will edit this post at the end of the day. I plan on another snack, dinner, and then taking a 1-2 mile walk.
Snack 3pm: 2 raspberry fig bars and 1/2 a gatorade. I was feeling a bit nauseous and gatorade seems to help.
Dinner: Family had panda express and so I partook just a bit and then stopped myself before really making a meal of it. The food is caked in oil! I just reminded myself of my goals. What I do have a difficult time with is getting overwhelmed by my goals and then feeling just defeated with where I am at. So I am working on really being more mindful and not letting the emotions and negative thinking control my actions. I am still hungry, but I am about to go for a walk. I am going to hold myself over with some pineapple and then eat the same thing I had for lunch.
I had one cup of pineapple to hold me over. I went for a brisk 2 mile walk and then came back and made a shake. I know it's not the ideal thing to have so I will work to make some fast food options tomorrow. I my dinner smoothie:I had 10 ounces of almond milk, 1 scoop of Ghost Vegan chocolate powder, 1 banana, 1/4 cup of oats. (now that I am thinking of it, I could have totally made oatmeal!)
I have had a total of 74 ounces of water today.
